Breaking free

Chapter 13- Kouga's deception, Miroku's chance

Last time-

Kagura decided to take the train home when he ran into Hojo. "So Kagura I see you finally ditched that guy," Hojo said. Kagura ignored him. "Come on now don't be like that Kagura," Hojo said.

She was thinking about Kouga. "So have you decided on becoming my woman yet Kagura?" Hojo asked. "Wait a minute that's it!" Kagura shouted. "I remember now, Flashback- "So how about it Ayame want to be my woman?" Kouga asked. "Kouga don't you have a girlfriend already?" Ayame asked. "I plan on dumping her. I just want to have some more fun with her. Then you'll have me all to yourself," Kouga said as he held her waist. 'Good, you know I don't like to share," Ayame said as she smiled. End Of flashback. It was yesterday when I ran out the restaurant. Near the park I saw them together. That means…oh no I have to tell Sango," Kagura thought.

As the train stopped she ran out. "Kagura wait!" Hojo shouted. He trapped in between the crowd going in and coming out the train.

"Wait if I tell Sango it will break her heart but if I don't then she'll be in a lot of pain. Either way she gets hurt though. Man what am I going to do?" Kagura wondered.

NOW-

The morning Sango came to pick Kagura up again. Kouga was with her. "Sorry Kagura, I didn't mean to make you walk home," Sango said as Kagura locked her door. "Don't worry about I don't mind," Kagura said as they walked over to her car.

He stopped when he noticed Kouga. "Actually I think I'm going to walk to work. I need the exercise anyways," Kagura said as she looked at her. "Really? Won't your feet start to hurt?" Sango asked. "I'll endure through pain. It's really not that far and besides I need to do something before I go to work," Kagura said.

"Oh, well if you say so. Call me if you need anything," Sango said as she walked over to the other side of her car. "Got it," Kagura said as she walked off. Sango got in her car and shut the door.

"Where's Kagura?" Kouga asked. "She said she had to go do something." Sango said as she started her car.

"Now what am I going to do. Knowing Sango if I tell her she is going to get mad at me and think I'm just trying to break them up. Even if she will get mad though I need to tell her. And I have to do it today," Kagura said.

Later on she arrived at the coffee shop. She quickly ran into Miroku's office to tell him the news. "What!?" Miroku said as he shot out his seat. "I'm going to tell her today," Kagura said.

"That will break her heart though. She will be crushed," Miroku said. "I know but she'll be in even more pain if I don't," Kagura said. "But she is happy right. So then you should let her stay happy. Even though I don't like seeing her with him as long as she is happy then I guess I can be too," Miroku said.

"Miroku about yesterday," Kagura said. "Don't worry about it. Anyways you should get back to work. I'll be fine," Miroku said as he sat back down in his chair.

Kagura walked out his office then got to work. Her lunch break soon came. Sango was already on her way.

They were talking in the back. Miroku had seen her come in and followed her. "Well Kagura, what is it?" Sango asked.

"This isn't an easy thing to say..." Kagura said.

"Come on just tell me already. You're scaring me gees. Is everything ok?" Sango asked. "What I am about to tell may be real shocking and you probably won't believe me either but I'm only telling you this I care about you," Kagura said.

"Ok spit it out already," Sango said. Kagura took a deep breath then let it ok. "Kouga is…" Kagura began to say. "Kouga is what?" Sango asked. "Kouga plans on dumping you for any other girl…her name is Ayame. I saw them together a couple of days ago.

He asked her to be his woman then said he's just messing around with you," Kagura said.

Sango laughed. "Wow Kagura that is some story. So what did you really want to tell me?" Sango asked. "I'm being honest Sango. He doesn't really care about you. He's just messing with your head," Kagura said.

"Listen Kagura I don't know what you're trying to pull but it isn't funny at all and you're starting to make me really mad," Sango said.

"Do you see me laughing? This isn't a joke Sango," Kagura said. "Just stop ok! I don't know what your problem is," Sango shouted. "Sango I wouldn't joke about something this serious. If you don't believe me then where is he now? Huh?" Kagura asked.

"Kouga cares about me Kagura and for your information he is at work now. I just dropped him off. Just because you're jealous of what we have doesn't mean you need to say things like that to ruin our relationship!" Sango said angrily.

"Jealous! I'm not jealous. I'm trying to be a good friend," Kagura said.

"Just because no one cares about you like he cares about me doesn't give you any right to talk about my boyfriend that way. So why don't you be a good friend and butt out of our relationship. Understand!" Sango shouted.

"Fine," Kagura said as she walked off. Sango just stood there. Miroku walked up to her. "Are you ok?" Miroku asked. Sango looked at him with tears in her eyes. "Miroku…I shouldn't have said that to her," Sango said. "She wasn't trying to hurt you. Besides who do you think it was harder for? You being the one told or her having to tell you?" Miroku asked.

'Sorry…to be honest I think she's right. One night I called his place and another girl answered his phone. He told me it was his cousin visiting him for a while. I had doubts in my head but I decided to believe him," Sango said as she wiped her eyes.

"Then why did you say all those things to her?" Miroku asked.

"I don't know why. It's just when she told me he said all that stuff I just got so mad. I took all that anger out on Kagura when she was just being a good friend. I know she really cares about me and didn't want me to get hurt," Sango said as she began to cry again.

Miroku held her in his embrace. "Please don't cry Sango. Everything will be ok," Miroku said. "It just hurts so much Miroku…how could he do this to me. I trusted him…why?!" Sango asked as she cried even more.

"I can't stand seeing you like this. Tell me is there anything I can do to make you smile? Anything at all and I promise I will do my best to make it happen" Miroku asked.

"You don't have to do anything for me," Sango said as she looked at him. "I want too though,"

"Miroku you're a really good friend. I wish I had a boyfriend like you," Sango said.

Miroku was silent.

"Is something wrong?" Sango asked.

Miroku let her go. "Sango can you see me as more than a friend?" Miroku asked.

"I don't know," Sango said as she looked away from him. "I see, I have one more thing to ask," Miroku said as she turned around.

"What is it?" Sango asked. "Where does Kouga work?" Miroku asked. "Oh, at Hui's bar he's a bartender there. Why do you ask?" Sango asked.

"No reason…I better get going. Take care," Miroku said as he walked off.

Sango watched him walk off.

Later that night Miroku made his way to Hui's club. He walked in looking for Kouga. He soon spotted him and walked over to him. "What do you think you're doing here?" Kouga asked.

"I need to talk to you," Miroku said. "To bad I don't need to talk to you now leave before I make you," Kouga said.

Sango soon arrived at the club as well. She saw Miroku and Kouga talking. She decided to listen and watch.

"I'm not scared of you," Miroku said. "What ever, I don't see why Sango likes hanging around you. You're just another loser thinking he has a chance with her. To bad she belongs to me," Kouga said.

"Sango likes to be around me because I am an honest person. I wouldn't do anything to hurt her at all. Unlike you, you cheating scum," Miroku said. "Cheating scum? Please, you're just jealous of what we have. I know you have a crush on her. Like she would ever date someone like you anyways, I'll make sure no guy ever gets to have a chance with her," Kouga said proudly.

"You can treat Sango like that. She's not some toy you can mess with. She deserves better,' Miroku said. "So what, I'll treat her anyway I want. What are you going to do about it?" Kouga asked as he grinned.

Miroku then punched him in his stomach. He coughed as he held his stomach. "Why you dirty little," Kouga said.

Sango quickly ran over to his side. "Kouga are you ok?" Sango asked with concern. "Yea I should be," Kouga said as he stood up straight. "You went to far Miroku. You didn't need to hit him. Just leave ok, I can take care of myself so just stay out my love life ok!?" Sango shouted.

Miroku backed away. "How can you still stand up for him and care about him…if that's what you want from me then you won't need to worry about anymore. Bye," Miroku said as he walked off.

'Thanks a lot babe. If you hadn't come who knows what would have happened," Kouga said as he smiled.

"I'm not stupid I heard everything you said about me," Sango said as she let him go. "Come on Sango you don't think I was serious do you? I was just kidding. I love you," Kouga said as he tried to kiss her.

Sango pushed him away. "Yeah right, I'm not falling for you're crap anymore. We're through. I never want to see your face ever again," Sango said.

"You can't be serious Sango. I was just joking. Besides you need me," Kouga said rudely. "You know I thought I did too. I wanted someone to care about me so badly so I let those thoughts blind my judgment but I was ok before without you and I'll be ok without you now," Sango said.

"Come on baby you're just thinking to much," Kouga said.

"Good bye Kouga," Sango said as she turned around. "You'll come running back to me and when you do don't expect me to take you back!" Kouga shouted as he watched her leave. Sango was soon out the club. She stopped when she saw Miroku sitting on the ground.

"What's a good looking guy like you doing here all by yourself?" Sango asked as he stood in front of him. Miroku didn't realize it was Sango. "I've been turned down by the woman I fell mad in love with her," Miroku said as he sighed.

"Really? What is she like?" Sango asked. "She's really beautiful; I've never anyone with such beauty. She is very caring as well. She's sweet and has a really great smile. But I can never see her again," Miroku said.

"Why?"

"Her boyfriend didn't really care about her. So I confronted him. I couldn't just stand and watch her treat her like I'm some toy. But in the end she picked him over me," Miroku said. "You know I think she is really thankful for what you did for her and I bet she is also hoping you'll forgive her so you can take her out on that date you offered before," Sango said as she smiled.

Miroku looked up and saw her staring at her. She quickly stood up. "Sango what are you I mean I thought you," Miroku said as he tried to think of words that made more since.

She put her finger on his lips to quiet him.

"So can you forgive me?" Sango asked. Miroku then hugged her. "Of course I can," Miroku said as he held her tightly in his embrace. Kagura smiled as she watched them walk off hand and hand.

"Perfect," Kagura said.
